| Companies have embarked on what looks
like the beginnings of a re-run of the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) wave
that defined the second bubbly half of the 1990s. That period, readers might
recall, was characterized by a collective splurge that saw the creation of some
of the most indebted companies in history, many of which later went bankrupt or
were themselves broken up. Wild bidding for teleeoms, internet and media
as- sets, not to mention the madness that was Daimler’ s $ 40 billion motoring
takeover in 1998—1999 of Chrysler or the Time-Warner/AOL megs-merger in 2000,

Many United States companies have, unfortunately, made the search for legal protection from import competition into a major line of work. Since 1980 the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has received about 280 complaints alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidence by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies "dumped" their products in the United States at “less than fair value”. Even when no unfair practices are all alleged, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief. 我来回答: 提交
